when i first got my bike like 7 or 8 months ago i went riding with a couple of high school buddies. well the two of them were doin wheelies back and forth and then my buddy jimmy over revs and loops his bike at 60mph. well he finally has his bike in somewhat riding condition a month or so ago. well i see him at winn dixie today and im like hey lets go for a ride.

the dood has like 25k on his gixxer and rides like its his first day. i saw the tread on his tires and i said take it slow through patterson man and i mean REAL slow. so i myself am going at a slower pace so i could watch him. well he makes it through the first set of corners and then you have this pretty much 90 degree turn and i was sure to take it slow so that he saw me go slow and knew to slow the fuck down not that he was going fast or anything. well i look in my mirrors and i watch him and his bike flip into the ditch lol.

i was like dood wtf i told you to go slow. so luckily his bike didnt go all the way into the ditch and we pulled it out.

what im tryin to get at is there are just some people who should not ride at all. some of them just dont get any better. i have a couple of friends who are like this. they should honestly make a more advance course that you have to take after 6 months of having your bike. if you dont pass you dont ride. this kid has twice miles as me he should be a pro fucking stunter for gods sake by now. but instead hes just a noob. be safe, and fucking practice people!

 

Well in his defence , does he live on a grid system like we have over here in st pete area? its all 90 degree stop light turns, and pretty much no where to get any cornering practice. it blows.

 

Where is patterson? hear people talking about it alot but i have never been.

 

I went down it for the first time ever this weekend man, it's stupid. I don't know what is sooo technical about it and why it's dangerously scary from everyone I've talked too. ANYONE who does the N run rides roads that are even tighter and way more technical than patterson. There's no blind corners, i didnt see ANY debris on the road, and the lanes are nice and wide. Its just your average curvy road. I was actually pretty disappointed when I got done with the road sense it had soo much hype built up around it. Google maps it brandon. BTW: I was in a car, but still...

BTW, to comment on this post, you're right, some people seem to not have the motor skills in their body to control a motorcycle well. But I know what ur talking about.

 

i dont think your were riding fast enough through it.

 

your too far away man. its too short of a road to ride all the way from brandon to tarpon springs pretty much.

 

its not a bad road its a a little short.... but if you live by that road its not bad for those guys that go there alot... I been there a couple of times not really that great... Me being use to twisties its not special. But yes I agree with Ricky some people shouldn't ride. They just don't seem to get it. There are some that think having a bike is cool. Sound like your friend hasn't learned his lesson. Thank god he is ok. I guess some people just don't have the know of practice makes perfect. "Not, do it with all I know and if it works it does if it doesn't oh well hopefully I will make it"! The north run is great and my favorite is Gobbler! Hayman is pretty awesome and some curves on Powel don't forget Weatherly too bad a judge and trooper live there .. Since I live 10 min away... I have got a custom to some pretty sweet turns. But I only been on the north run a couple of times this year. Not like I use to go last year. I miss the Ocala ride... 300 miles with alot of 60's and 90's ... Slo Poke lets go on it again.

 

like i said, i was in a car, my bike is down However, the N run has some disgustingly nasty corners that makes patterson a breeze. You should REALLY meet up for the N run if you've never been on it If you have, those roads N of SR 50 put patterson to shame.

BTW: there are some GORGEOUS houses on that road

 

i totally agree with you, but when im lookin for a quick fix i dont exactly feel like riding all the way to bum fuck egypt to do so ya know what i mean?

 

Of course , i was simply commenting on the fact that the hype built around that road isn't all its cracked up to be. I was seriously expecting Tail of the Dragon type shit but LOL.
